Chapter 499: Secretly interacting with her...

Liao Changming hesitated. "I told Liao Jiu that I also wanted to take this opportunity to return home, but Liao Jiu refused. He also mentioned Madam Zhou's matter and said he would investigate it in detail. He said that even I, as a father, was suspected. This unfilial son..."

Yao glared, "What? Master, what suspicion do you have? Madam Zhou herself is morally flawed and brought disaster upon herself, yet you blame the master? This Marquis Qingning is yours, why shouldn't you be afraid of him? He's no longer the emperor's favorite, nor is he the governor of the Six Gates. We don't need to be afraid of him! What's so great about him? At most, he will sever the father-son relationship with you, master. He doesn't care about the things in our Marquis Qingning Mansion anyway. Master, we still have Yan'er, and Yan'er has two sons. Even without Liao Jiu, our Liao family will not be extinct..."

Take this opportunity to give Liao Changming some advice.

Liao Changming was a little embarrassed. "That's what I said, but there's no need to sever the father-son relationship. Liao Jiu is quite sensible most of the time. What if he makes a comeback in the future? Also, you don't know, although he is no longer the governor of the Six Gates, the four commanders of the Six Gates are all his subordinates and they all listen to him..."

Yao was disappointed again.

Even at this time, with such rumors, Liao Changming was still hesitant.

It seems that it is difficult to rely on him.

I can only live in this small house that is not very presentable for the rest of my life.

She can no longer enjoy the glory of being a marquis’ wife.

The title of young marquis that she had coveted and wanted to plan for her son Liao Yan was no longer possible.

Liao Jiu completely cut off his retreat.

"Okay, Master, we'll live our lives the way you arrange. I'll obey you in everything. I'll be happy just to be by your side. It's also good for our family to live peacefully without arguing about trivial matters."

Liao Changming was touched. "You still understand me the best. I have always just wanted a stable life. Glory and wealth are just fleeting."

"Well, as long as we have food and drink with the master, we will be satisfied."

Yao lowered her head... She didn't say the rest of the sentence. That was in the countryside in the past!

Now that she had arrived in the capital, she had seen so much prosperity and wealth. Furthermore, she had been suppressed by Madam Zhou and could not hold her head up high. She now dreamed of surpassing Madam Zhou, wanting her son to hold a higher official position than Liao Jiu, and for everyone to call her the Marquis's wife...

But unfortunately, Liao Changming is a person who doesn't want to fight and is a bit of a coward.

No matter how hard the wind blew, he couldn't be blown up. There was nothing he could do successfully.

I couldn't register my deceased son in the Liao family's ancestral home, and I couldn't find a good job for my eldest son...

Even if the wind blew too much, it would not help. It would annoy him and he would not be able to capture his heart. She and her children were left with nothing to rely on and could only lie dormant and suffer in grievance.

After these few years.

Yao felt helpless but did not show it on her face. She could only help Liao Changming change his clothes and said some words that he liked to hear.

After Liao Changming went to the study to write his worthless calligraphy and paintings, Yao's mood became even worse. She took her maid to the backyard to relax.

When they reached a group of rockery, Yao was in a state of distraction and walked too fast, and lost her maid.

She was the only one left.

Suddenly, a person walked out of the rockery quietly, scaring Yao.

The man was wearing a mask, was tall and thin, and was a young man.

He said in a gentle voice, "Yao, I can help you achieve whatever you ask for..."

The voice was bewitching, and Yao, who was originally planning to escape, stopped as if possessed by a ghost.

"Who are you?"

"Someone who can help you! Someone who wants to help you! I can also help you cover up what you did..."

***

"Your wound has healed a lot in the past few days, so you should take it easy."

Jiang Lianzhu checked Liao Jiu's chest wound, which had completely scabbed over.

His board injuries are all gone.

Liao Jiu was basking in the sun in the yard. He had been dealing with the affairs of the Qingning Marquis Mansion these days.

All the suspicious people have been replaced.

We cleaned the whole place from top to bottom, found a lot of termites, fleas and other things, discovered a lot of problems, and recovered a lot of losses.

"It's all my fault. I'm usually busy with work and haven't been able to take care of the Qingning Marquis Mansion. I thought my mother would be a good housekeeper, but I didn't expect someone to take advantage of it. My father wants to move back to the mansion. It must be that Yao's idea. Yao's hands are not clean. She bribed many servants in my father's name and secretly interacted with her..."

Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu had a personal conversation.

Jiang Lianzhu was behind him, massaging him and talking, "How did you deal with it?"

"Those who betrayed their masters and committed adultery had their homes confiscated and sold. I've compiled a list of all the money and property I could recover from the Yao family and sent it to them. My father's desire to move in is impossible! We'll talk about it after my mother returns. Everything has been handled, except for the person who cast the curse, who hasn't been found yet. The people from Qingguang Temple and the Six Gates are currently investigating, but they don't have any leads yet."

"Could this talisman have been cast by Marquis Qingning and the Yao family?" Jiang Lianzhu asked.

Liao Jiudao said, "The talisman was obtained at the Qingguang Temple Fair. Yao and my father rarely go to the temple. They don't believe in Buddhism and have little contact with the temple..."

"They don't believe in Buddhism, but they know your mother is. Plus, they have close ties with the servants of the Marquis of Qingning, so they might be able to find an opportunity..."

"Well, you have a point. I've thought about that, but the clues so far don't point to them. If they really are related, I won't let them go."

As the two talked, Jiang Lianzhu became curious again. "The fact that this spell can work shows that the person behind it is not simple. There really is such a talented person. It really opens my eyes."

"There's nothing strange in this world! The Six Gates have seen several cases of this sort of thing, all involving talismans... including Master Dazhi. He also draws rain-invoking talismans and the like. I've personally witnessed him using them to pray for rain. It does have some effect, but it's not as dramatic as summoning the wind and rain. Praying for rain isn't easy; it requires many steps, and talismans alone aren't enough..."

As the two were talking, they came to the right.

"Master, there's a clue in Qingguang Temple!"

Liao Jiuhu stood up and walked away, "Let's go take a look."

Jiang Lianzhu hurried to catch up, "Slow down, why are you so anxious?"

Liao Jiu smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm well now. Let's go see it together?"

"Okay." Jiang Lianzhu was also very curious about this kind of talisman.

She would go and see if she could help in any way. If not, she could at least go and gain some experience.

"Xiangyou, you ride to Qingguang Temple first, and we will follow."

Then, he and Jiang Lianzhu rode over on a golden eagle.
